The Minnesota Timberwolves suffered a painful 120-111 loss against the Denver Nuggets on Friday night, falling to 0-3 in their first-round series.
This was a painful defeat, but not everything is said in this duel, at least for Anthony Edwards. After hearing Jaylen Nowell talking about this big loss, Edwards sent a message to his team, making it clear he’s not giving up at all.
“This series is not over,” Edwards said, via Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic. “It’s the first to four, not to three. I promise you it ain’t over. Everyone’s counting us out. It ain’t over. I promise you.”
Even though this is an encouraging message, it’s very likely to make a big difference for the Timberwolves. Nobody has ever returned from a 0-3 deficit in the NBA, and seeing how great the Denver Nuggets are playing right now, these Timberwolves won’t be the first ones to do it.
Jamal Murray is finding his best version at the right time, and fans in Denver can’t be happier about it. The point guard scored 18 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists in the win, helping Nikola Jokic secure a big third win over Minnesota.
Anthony Edwards Had Another Big Game Against Denver Nuggets
Edwards had a big game once again, dropping 36 points on his rivals, but this wasn’t enough to move the needle for the Timberwolves. Many fans thought they could get this win, especially after chanting ‘we want Denver’ in the play-in tournament, but the team couldn’t respond.
Ant keeps showing that he’s a superstar in the making, but the team’s front office needs to make the right decisions to surround him with the most fitting supporting cast. Being 0-3 down is always hard, but Edwards remains confident that he and his team can turn things around.
Game 4 is scheduled for this Sunday when Minnesota will try to get the first win of the series and extend this matchup.
